There are over 34 million Americans who live with hearing loss. Only 1 out of 5 people who could benefit from the use of hearing aids use them. Families, co-workers, employers, and others that people with hearing loss encounter every day are also impacted to varying degrees. The scope of the problem is growing as Baby Boomers age, and as younger people increasingly use mobile devices and listen to music and video through ear buds. Living With Hearing Loss is presented through a partnership between NET Television and the Nebraska Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Through story segments and studio panels discussions, viewers will learn about: various types of hearing loss and deafness; coping strategies for people with hearing loss and their families; and the growing array of technology and assistive devices that are helping to erase the stigma and lower barriers associated with Living With Hearing Loss.
